I know we're meme-ing about Argentina's cringe-ass president, but there are theories of "fourth world" societies.

If the First world is the US and its allies, the Second world is the USSR and it's allies, and the Third world is all of the non-aligned countries, then Fourth World theories assert that the Fourth World consists of indigenous peoples who's integration into the institutions of modernity are tenuous.

So, think Bedouin tribespeople with smartphones, or nomadic pastoral peoples in the Sahel who regularly cross national borders to graze their cattle, or indigenous Americans on reservations who's sovereignty is always contested.

Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you
